New Years 2015

Another year past

Memories go back in time,

but how far.

Is it to our birth

or our first year after that.

Finding my mind

not always aware of the time.

A place, a person or

perchance, just a passing thought.

Remembering times of good cheer,

fellowship and maybe a little tear.

Thoughts of my past

and passing friends that are no more.

New Years will be here soon,

as another has past.

A chance to renew,

starting from scratch, a new year.

Starting a new

with happiness and good cheer.

I get to start over

as it will soon be a New Year.

I like the sentiment. Funny thing is Will, we can start over every day. Many times a day if we so choose. We have an endless reset button on this game called life. It is called choice... Free will if you may. Personally, I stay shackled or "dead" for days or months each year because I'm too stubborn or fearful or lazy or whatever to choose something better...
Hmmmmm?
Something needs to change. I wonder what it is? 😏
Enjoyed the poetry my friend.

[Willard Wells]

Thank you for your time in reviewing my work and free will is true, but like you my mind often holds me back which I expect is fear.

[CD Campbell]

But do we really get to start over at the new year? Nice sentiment. Maybe if we could just abandon our bitterness of the past year that would be enough. I like this one. It's nice to meet you Willard. CD

The past is done and the future is yet to be written.. Truly all we have is this present moment and each moment is new to be enjoyed. Yes I am an optimist.

Thanks for the visit and review. Good day.

Take from the past what you need, what you want, what you love and move on! Make new beginnings in good rich soil and grow strong like the dickens and love beyond reason until 2017 rolls around. Then you get to do it all again!

[Willard Wells]

Appreciate your time in visiting my year-end words of farewell and this past year a new friend was added and it was nice to meet you.

[Perkele.7885]

Friends are truly hard to find Will and you have found one. You can count me as legitimate!

[JayceeC]

The new year seems to be time to reflect on the old, but look ahead to the new. Hope your new start is a happy one, Willard.

[Willard Wells]

How can it not start happy with love in my life and love in my heart with my true love.
